In a medical spa or modern cosmetic clinic, you will find many different treatments, each with its own advantages, disadvantages, strengths, and weaknesses.  For the most basic of treatments for your skin, you can try a good collagen supplement. But some treatments rise up among the rest as they are incredible feats of modern cosmetic technology. Referring to specific three facial cosmetic enhancements and treatments we hope to inform you about all the great things that can be accomplished with modern cosmetic technology.

These three treatments, Botox, dermal fillers, and Skinly Aesthetics clinics have been deemed as some of the most popular ways to restore youth to a tired and worn-out face. Thanks to some insider information from Manhattan’s own Skinly Aesthetics, we’ve learned a little extra about these treatments and hope this will be your little guide to finding the youth restoration treatment that is right for you.

Botox

You’ve definitely heard of Botox. If not about the treatment itself, then definitely that name. It has gotten lots of fame and notoriety in recent years, as Botox is used to refer to any cosmetic treatment, from lip fillers to lifting the skin. 

However, this is not what Botox actually does and most people unfamiliar with the beauty industry often greatly misunderstand what Botox is and how it works. In reality, the treatment is far more complicated than most people will have you believe and it accomplishes some truly great things.

Let’s start with what it is. Botox is a compound called the “botulinum toxin”. It is a compound that has the ability to numb certain kinds of nerves. Now, sure, in the hands of someone who has no experience in medicine or cosmetic treatments this compound can be very dangerous. But today’s practitioners go through years of arduous studying and training before they are allowed to work with the compound. 

With this knowledge and experience, they are able to use the compound in such ways, that it can numb certain nerves under the face to create a more youthful appearance on the surface. The facial muscles are under constant strain and are endlessly contracting. These contractions are responsible for the wrinkles and age marks above. So if you wish to get rid of the wrinkles, you should first stop the muscle contractions.

And that’s exactly what Botox does. Without having to puff up the face it makes it look much younger, more vibrant, and energetic. 

Dermal Fillers

To list all the treatments possible with the dermal filler compound would take a very long time. That’s not going to stop us from covering some of the most popular uses for this amazing compound and how it can be used to enhance and tighten the face in all the right places and in all the right ways.

Dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a type of chemical found in our body which is responsible for the springiness in our joints (keep in mind this is a very non-technical explanation). It naturally grows and fills areas when it comes into contact with moisture. Upon injection, it almost immediately fills in certain areas of the face and lifts the skin.

But what is the point of this lifting and tightening? Because those are the elements of a youthful and energetic face. All you have to do is compare an older-looking face to a younger one. Obviously, wrinkles, sun spots, and other age marks are going to be prevalent, but there is also something else that is just subtle enough to miss but is still very much visible.

The shape of the face depends on a lot more than just bone structure. The tightness of your skin also plays a major role in how your face looks, in its shape, and most importantly: the volume.

This is what dermal fillers do: they restore lost volume to the face by lifting up the skin using the springy gel that is the hyaluronic acid-based compound. With a few precise injections, your face will be looking more youthful and full of energy than it did before. Thanks to the restored facial volume, you will see a major improvement in the freshness of your appearance and the newfound vigour when you look in the mirror. Whether you are looking for Houston lip filler injections, or any other state near to you, then this procedure when carried out by a qualified professional, can really add some sparkle to your face and bring you back any lost confidence.

PDO Thread Lift

Last, there is another form of facial lifting and skin tightening, though it is accomplished through an entirely different method. The PDO threads are specially designed fibers, which are inserted under the skin via a special medical tool, massaged into place, and once they have latched on, they pull the skin up to lift the face.

Hence why it’s called a PDO thread lift and why it has been so popular with clients all across the world. But what really makes this treatment so special comes after the insertion of the threads. The PDO threads themselves do not stay there permanently; they dissolve after some time, which is done completely naturally by the body itself.

You may think that the treatment is over and done with when the last of the PDO fibers dissolves, but the PDO thread lift is not finished yet. As the threads dissolve, they promote collagen formation, a type of protein that is responsible for your body’s durability, structural integrity, and regenerative capabilities.

With the extra collagen, the body replaces the PDO threads with its own naturally grown collagen fibers, which tighten the face and keep that youthful appearance even after the fiber has dissolved. It may seem a little scary at first to have a thread injected under the skin. But the treatment itself is quite painless and there is very little discomfort during the treatment thanks to local anesthetics. The only discomfort you will find may arise from the side effects. The PDO thread will ache and the treated area will slightly swell. But these side effects go away rather quickly on their own and will require minimal effort from you to soothe them. 

With the PDO thread lift, patients can look into the mirror with greater confidence, knowing the energy they feel inside them is present on their faces as well.

It has come to our attention that NYC residents are getting more and more excited about body contouring and curvature. This comes as no surprise since curves have been a really hot trend in recent years. To be fair: having a little extra volume in certain areas of the body (especially on the buttocks, thighs, and hips) has been a beauty trend for centuries.  

There are plenty of other cosmetic treatments that deal with the body besides these two. So you most likely have a wide range of question from how the treatments work to something more specific like the average EMSculpt cost. A non-invasive procedure that utilizes special magnetic muscle contracting technology causes the muscles to convulse at fast rates. This equates to them doing an insane amount of exercise in an equally insane short period of time. The results present themselves as perfectly toned and strengthened muscles, which look and feel bigger. But this is just one of the many other cosmetic treatments out there. You can find plenty more including the following two that we’ll be looking into with greater detail.

While the methodology and the practices these two treatments involve are quite different, they are both tasked with one goal: to enhance body curvature and bring out those attractive contours. Both these treatments are quite interesting in how they work and the results they bring out. Learning more about them can potentially help many people out there in getting the curves they have always dreamed of. 

Sculptra Butt Lift 

The Sculptra filler compound acts somewhat similarly to other fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane. These two are more commonly used with facial rejuvenation and volume restoration. They are a special hyaluronic acid-based gel, which is injected into key areas of the face where there is hollowness as a result of fat loss, the volume has decreased and the face looks tired and saggy. 

 Loss of facial fat is a natural process that happens with everyone, where the pockets of fat under the face that are responsible for keeping the skin tight and lifted, deteriorate, causing the skin to sag as a result. Dermal fillers fill in these areas and restore volume to the face, making it look younger, more energetic, and more vibrant. 

 Now let’s apply this to the butt, which is not much different, although the process does have its deviations from the traditional facial rejuvenation. 

 Procedure 

Similar to hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra is injectable, making it a minimally invasive treatment. This means other than tiny holes made during the injections, there is no other damage done to your skin or body. Some cosmetic treatments leave behind scars and other kinds of marks after the treatment. Other than some there is slight bruising in the injected areas, which itself may or may not happen, there is no other damage done to the body. 

 This means a shorter recovery time for patients, as well as less painful side effects. So after the treatment is finished, there’s less to worry about. No having to buy additional medication just to deal with the side effects. The treatment requires two to three sessions with two to four weeks of intervals. This is done to ensure that your body is not overloaded with the compound all at once and has some room to breathe. 

 Results 

The results of the treatment are not immediate. Polylactic acid found in Scuptra initially increases volume and plumps up the area, but then it fades away and this initial volume is lost. A lot of patients end up confused by this and think that the treatment was ineffective. However, this is a normal part of the process. Once this initial volume decreases, the body then absorbs the Sculptra compound, which results in additional collagen formation.  

 Collagen is a protein found in your body that is mainly responsible for its structural integrity. The more of it there is, the tighter and healthier your skin is. Basically, the results improve over time until you find yourself with a fuller, more round buttocks and with more pronounced curvature. 

 Brazilian Butt Lift 

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) also promises more accentuated curves and greater volume in the posterior. However, it accomplishes this through a different method. It’s also a very famous treatment, especially in major metropolitan areas. With the availability of BBL as well as Sculptra NYC clients have plenty of options when it comes to enhancing cuvature. 

 Procedure 

This is where BBL and Sculptra part ways. While Sculptra mainly relies on the filler gel to increase volume in the posterior, BBL gets a little more creative. There are pockets of fat stored in areas all across the body, including in areas where they may not be as welcome, like the hips and waistline. 

 During the procedure, the excess fat is extracted from these areas of the body and is then repurposed by injecting it into the posterior. It sounds a little crazy when you first hear about BBL, but the procedure does work and it has brought about some of the best results in the industry when it comes to enhancing curves and adding volume to the butt. 

 Results 

The BBL is very special, as it works on two fronts. You’re not just getting a curvature enhancement procedure with BBL. Since the fat needs to be extracted from other parts of the body, the BBL also ends up trimming away excess fat that was built up in other areas. So it’s not just a curvature enhancement that you’re getting with BBL, but also a fat reduction. 

 This fat reduction may be limited when compared to dedicated fat trimming procedures, like Kybella or Coolsculpting, it still can have visible results on both fronts. What makes the BBL so effective, is that the body’s resources are used to create results. Since the fat comes from your body and is not artificially created, by injecting it back, there is a very low risk of allergic reactions or painful side effects. A quick and easy recovery time is a very important factor in any cosmetic treatment and the BBL comes with this huge benefit for any looking to enhance their curves and get a little fat trimming done all in one great package.
